About This Book
A neurosurgeon diagnosed with lung cancer reflects on mortality, medicine, and meaning. While about lung cancer rather than mesothelioma, the themes are profoundly relevant — a physician confronting the same disease he treated in others, grappling with what makes life worth living when time is limited. One of the most moving cancer memoirs ever written.
Best for: Patients and families processing the emotional weight of a terminal cancer diagnosis. Particularly meaningful for those wrestling with existential questions.
